The Borges is located within Galerías Pacifico—a prestigious building dating back to the end of the 19th century and considered a historical national monument in Argentina. The goal of the Borges Cultural Center is to support and promote cultural and artistic expression, advance education in its areas of interest, and to promote Argentina’s historical, cultural, and artistic heritage both domestically and abroad. Visitors can enjoy a wide array of cultural activities, such as art exhibits, music, dance, films, theatre, literature, and various educational programs. Following the example of the Bom Marché in Paris, Francisco Seeber and Emilio Bunge created the Argentine Bom Marché Argentino at the end of the last century. Their European-styled creation embodied the best of the period’s architectural trends. Florida Street was chosen as the optimal location in which to construct this exceptional building of glass arches, inter-crossing paths, and an elegant central dome. On December 25, 1896, the Fine Arts Museum was established inside the Galerías Pacífico building. The Center has previously hosted exhibits of well-known international artists including: Miró, Matisse, Matta, Toulouse Lautrec, De Chirico, Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Torres García, Man Ray, Robert Capa, Bresson, Doisneau, Bob Gruen. World Press Photo, Steve McCurry and many others.
